Less funny after someone unironically said that asking beanis to get posted in a dedicated comm is just as bad as queer erasure today
Bad things happening to the dumbest rich assholes alive, love to see it
The whole thing was in response to a request that beanis posting gets its own comm, so the beanis people can keep posting as much as they like. Not even asking to ban it or limit it.
I'm getting to that point but I honestly like 80% of the non-bean-spam bad posts, and it's nice to have a low-effort comm to post stupid bits in when I'm not sure if they're going to land
The culture of posting even more bean spam in response to people asking for bean containment really sucks though
The irony of this getting buried under petulant bean spam for asking that the bean spam get its own comm so the bean people can keep enjoying it
They're called Mormons
Sorry I didn't realize asking beanis posting to have its own comm to contain the spam was literally the same as homophobia, glad I was educated by the beanisposter I oppressed by making this request. I'll self-crit.
On a serious note, that reaction is a great reason why beanis posting should have its own comm
Yeah saying beanis is a stupid bit is exactly the same as when my boomer parents erase my queerness
Holy shit what's wrong with you
oh hell yeah!!
Are they sure the cracking was related? Tesla windshields just do that sometimes

Just wanted to share a bit of a bright point from last week, especially since I know The Workplace is a gauntlet of horrors designed to punish a lot of us neurodivergent people.
I've always got really great feedback on my communication skills. It's one part writing-as-a-hobby, one part devops drive for operational efficiency, and three parts AuDHD. In particular I'm really good at communicating technical topics in ways that engineers are receptive to and that non-technical people can understand. Since my entire workplace is remote, efficient and comprehensible written communication is really important.
About a month ago I got looped into an initiative to add explicit guidelines about how to communicate effectively while remote. I was just asked to give feedback on how the guidelines sounded — and I realized that they were all modeled after how I specifically communicate. I even asked my boss about it and she confirmed that it was "heavily inspired" by my communication style. The best parts: I didn't really have to do much work for this initiative, and I've been openly AuDHD at work for a year at this point, so they're quite aware.
They literally just want everyone to make their communication more autistic, and they're documenting that explicitly.

How/where could I track down a replacement LCD screen for a fireplace remote? (pictured)
(hexbear.net)
My rental unit has a gas fireplace that's controlled by remote. The remote fell about 3 feet and the LCD shattered. The remote is still functional, the screen is just cracked and bleeding. Replacements cost $100 and I'm on the hook for it if my landlord finds out. Haven't been able to find any cheaper compatible remotes either.
Any thoughts about how I might be able to track down a replacement LCD? Is it even worth it? The LCD seems pretty specialized.

Since I logged back in after being away from Hexbear for around a year and a half, I've been rereading my old comments. The last few years have been really tumultuous for me personally and it's been really helpful to have a bunch of little snapshots of who I am and where my head's been at since Hexbear opened.
I'm AuDHD and have a really diffuse sense of self a lot of the time, so it's been nice getting re-acquainted with my own personality (hopes, dreams, desires, insecurities, interests, values, and everything else) especially after some drawn-out periods of burnout, depression, and just being in survival mode. I like who I am. I'm a lot kinder than I remember.
That's been helpful for guiding some of my goals and and reminding myself of what I value for getting my life back to a happier place again, too.
Plus it's been good refreshing myself on my opsec lies so I can feel comfortable not deleting my old comments and preserve my thought record for the future 
The comment-reread has been a great reminder about how I really like this place. I've had a ton of fantastic conversations with the comrades here, learned all sorts of things, helped people and received help myself. The argument-to-positive-convo ratio in my comment history is honestly way lower than I even thought it would be. Huge shout out to all of the comrades here (posters and mods alike) for making it the least-terrible place on the internet

It'd be fun for about a year, then I'd get bored of being in charge of people and try to ghost everyone
